Herb Head, Jr., went to the big lot in the sky 12-15-11. Herb played the American Steam Calliope in the Milwaukee Circus Parades for 35 years as well as the Organ in Al Ringling Theatre in Baraboo and at the Henry Ford Museum.

Herb also built an amazing circus 1" to 1 ft. scale that he and his family and friends would set up outdoors in his back yard one day each summer, since the 1930's. This circus grew to 12 flatcars, 50 wagons, 5 stock cars and 7 coaches.They would unload the flatcars, erect the tents, move the equipment ,etc., and tear down at the end of the day.
